Today Chloe was taken off the medication which caused her to not be able to move. The doctors have been monitoring the pressure in her brain, and it stayed around 10-13 all day. Although normal pressure is 5, Chloe has been much higher - dangerously so. Today would be considered a good day. As she came off the medication, she was able to squeeze the nurse's hand when asked to. She also squeezed her mother's hand. She was able to move her toes when asked to and she made small voluntary movements to get more comfortable. Also, her eyes are moving more under her eyelids and even following her dad's voice as moves around her bedside. Chloe is still heavily sedated and receiving medication to relieve the pain. The next step tomorrow will be to start to wean her off the sedative and to monitor her reaction.
With so much rapid progress today, we're all praying for continuing successes tomorrow!
